Chen Zeen, 26, is a well-known beekeeper in Pengyang County, Guyuan City, Ningxia Province. having just graduated from college, he did not stay in the big city to work hard, but set his sights on business opportunities to return home to start a business.

During the summer vacation of 2014, Chen Zeen found that the Chinese honeybee did not produce low sugar and could not be raised on a large scale as farmers in his hometown said. In fact, as long as the method is scientific, it will have good economic benefits.

In 2015, Chen Zeen successfully persuaded his father to invest all the savings of his family and his part-time job in college into beekeeping. By learning breeding techniques in Chongqing, Sichuan and other places, Chen Zeen changed the original way of raising honey by destroying the nest in his hometown, and carried out box feeding, which can not only regularly obtain honey and increase yield, but also protect and expand the bee colony. Chen Zeen said: "there is a unique advantage in keeping bees in Pengyang County. With the effect of returning farmland to forest and grassland continues to appear in recent years, the ecological environment is better, my Chinese honeybee can taste a hundred herbs and pick a hundred flowers."

In 2015, Chen Zeen raised 100 cases of Chinese honeybees, producing more than 2000 jin of honey and a net income of 150000 yuan. Up to now, Chen Zeen has raised 200 cases of Chinese honeybees, produced 4000 jin of honey and achieved an economic income of more than 400,000 yuan. He also led more than 100 villagers in Shuangshu Village to raise more than 600 boxes of Chinese honeybees, held regular beekeeping technical training for farmers, provided door-to-door technical guidance, and taught beekeeping techniques hand in hand.
